Tracey Rangel Cruz

Tracey and her team are extremely dedicated, compassionate and professional! I feel like a struck the jackpot when I hired her! She and her assistant, Channy, took on my case when I was in a dire and desperate situation and showed so much understanding, patience and competence. Through a long process... with many hearings, they navigated through a complex family law case and a restraining order with multiple witnesses and evidence. Tracey’s demeanor, professionalism and expertise in court were phenomenal and she instantly earned credibility in front of the judge. She knows her job so well and is incredibly in tune with the intricacies and nuances of the laws and the California judicial system. She was always honest with me and laid our realistic expectations without sugar coating anything. She and her team often worked late nights and weekends to prepare for my case and were there for me professionally and personally. We won the case and through her commitment and hard work I was able to keep my children safe. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!

I was dreading the legal process and fighting my husband over our money and our children. He had threatened to take custody away and leave me in the worst place he possibly could, financially. I didn’t care about our material things but I did care about our children. Tracey sat down with me and ex...plained the court process, the laws, and the realities of what to expect. She worked to get my case ready for court and she knew just what I needed to do. She advised me about a fair settlement and not to give up more than I wanted to simply out of fear. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t because I deserved my fair share of our assets and I am glad that I stood firm. Tracey writes beautifully and expressed my points in court perfectly. When we were in court, she was confident and polished. She is definitely the epitome of a professional and experienced lady lawyer. She’s a fighter dressed up in a suit and pearls and all, but she will fight for you. I could not be happier with how she handled my case — give her a try you won’t be sorry!

Tracey Cruz is an atypical attorney in every respect. She charged me less money than she said she would, she accomplished everything she said she would try to accomplish for me and more, and she did not lie to me a single time or mislead me in any way. Additionally, she genuinely cared what was goin...g to happen to me and made sure nothing bad happened to me. She is a very capable attorney and always employs an excellent staff, which is a great testament to her. I have been a client over the past 4 years, and she has always maintained employees who know what they are doing, care about you and your case, and are quick and attentive. Most recently, Morgan Hoover has gone above and beyond to help me. I currently live in Los Angeles where the police arguably have a less than exemplary reputation. Believe me, the Santa Barbara police are even more corrupt and motivated by money. Just Google Kasi Beutel if you are naeive enough to doubt that for a second. Add this to the fact that most attorneys in Santa Barbara are very subpar in ability, will lie to you, and don't care. Don't mess around with your life, do your research and hire Tracey Cruz.
